WATERTITE – state-of-the-art waterproofing
membrane system
WATERTITE system is cutting edge
technology solution for water-
proofing. It is derived from the
vast experience that Polybit has
concerning production and development of bitumi-
nous waterproofing membranes and other water-
proofing products. WATERTITE
system, with many benefits, en-
sures the safest and most effi-
cient waterproofing of objects.
Fields of application that WATERTITE systems covers
are foundations and substructures.
WATERTITE key features:
• Higher waterproofing protection
WATERTITE waterproofing membrane system always contain a two layers of membranes that
allows a better waterproofing & protection. This way, WATERTITE system significantly reduces
the leakage probabilities in comparison to the standard waterproofing systems, which causes
possible mistakes on the installation process and thus affecting water tightness.
• Higher impact resistance
Unique technology of waterproofing membrane that has protection properties excludes
necessity of using protection boards and provides even higher impact protection comparing
to standard protection boards.
Maximising value for all
WATERTITE system saves time and money for both Clients and Contractors. It provides easier and faster
application comparing to standard self adhesive membranes application process, allowing time saving of up to
30%. Saving is maximised in case when 2 layers of membrane and protection board are requested
because WATERTITE system removes necessity of protection board layer. However, time saving
exists even when 1 layer of membrane and 1 layer of protection board is specified because ap-
plication of protection membrane on base membrane is much easier and more convenient than
application of protection board.

Deep underground structures with high water table are highly susceptible to water leakages in spite of using the best possible waterproofing systems due to the high complexities involved in such structures.
WATERTITE T5000 is a multiple layer waterproofing system which is designed to provide a high level of protection in deep structures subjected to high hydrostatic pressures. The first two layers comprises of a 3mm thick SBS modified bituminous torch applied membranes, where the 1st layer is laid loose on the structure in order to keep the system independent of the structural movement followed by the fully bonded 2nd layer which is placed at 50% staggered overlaps over the 1st layer to provide a complete seal against water penetration.The waterproofing membranes are protected with a 3.5mm thick self-adhering membrane which is surfaced with a tough 400gsm polypropylene fleece. This layer also functions as the 3rd layer of waterproofing along with providing the protection against external damages. The polypropylene fleece bonds completely with the concrete when the RCC raft is casted to become a part of the concrete structure thus preventing the lateral movement of water, should there be any leakage post construction.

Waterproofing of deep underground structures exposed to high hydrostatic pressure is quite challenging as it has to address various complex issues, the most important of all is to provide a complete barrier to the high water pressure encountered in such depths.
WATERTITE PR5000 waterproofing system is a seamless waterproofing system totally devoid of any joints or laps which in major cases are the sources of water penetration. The system comprises of a 2mm thick spray applied fast setting coating based on Polyurea technology, which on curing forms a very tough yet flexible waterproofing layer. A 3.5mm thick self-adhering bituminous membrane surfaced with a tough 400gsm polypropylene fleece is applied on top of the waterproofing coating. This membrane functions as the secondary layer of waterproofing, as well as protecting the underlying coating from external damages. The polypropylene fleece bonds completely with the concrete when the RCC raft is casted to become a part of the concrete structure thus preventing the lateral movement of water, should there be any leakage post construction. Being a liquid based coating, it is ensured that even the minutest of critical details are properly sealed and protected from water penetration, ensuring a complete water tight seal all around the structure.
